Inevitably some music must lack a named composer. This is more obviously the case with traditional music, which here includes: Chomincianmento di Gioia: salterello, Estampie from the 13th century, Lamento di Tristano: La Rotta, A la Nana is a Spanish Jewish lullaby, and the final Guardame las vacas a Spanish cowherd's song, which is the subject of so many later sets of lute and keyboard variations in 16th century Spain.

  • Ahhhhh just lovely 

  • Guardame Las Vacas (Watch the Cows) was actually an extremely popular medieval romance throughout Europe. Many composers wrote their own version -- especially the Spanish vihuelists: Alonso Mudarra, Luys de Narvaez and Enriquez de Valderrabano. Mudarra iincludes three versions of Guardame Las Vacas in his tres libros... para vihuela.

  • Guardame Las Vacas is written in an Italian musical form known as a romance or Romanesca. A Romanesca is composed of a sequence of four chords with a repeating bass, which provide the groundwork for variations and improvisation with differencias (variations) on the theme.
